Climate change is reshaping water systems across the African continent. From stressed catchments that supply hydropower to degraded soils that limit food production and inadequate sanitation systems that pollute rivers and oceans—local communities face interconnected challenges.

This webinar brings together leading practitioners from Uganda, Malawi, and South Africa to share field-tested, scalable solutions. The session will explore how catchment-based water resources management, regenerative Deep Bed Farming, and circular, container-based sanitation can support resilient ecosystems, sustainable agriculture, and healthier communities.
